60s, dry trail, clear
mind/body - strong
Hard effort
Prescribed workout: 90 minutes with elevation, up tempo on the flat sections
Actual workout: 14 myles - 1.58:01! - avg. 8:25 ~4500 ft of elevation gain
Well, I didn't think it was possible but I eclipsed my previous record of 1.58:55 by almost a minute for Mt. Falcon v. 1.0! This tells me I am fit! Probably the best shape of my life. What makes me most happy about this time is that I gained most of my time on the downhills. I was only up 15 seconds by the time I had finished climbing. I'm starting to take more chances downhill with confidence. Here are my splits:
- End Turkey Trot - 17:20
- Shelter - 29:15
- Start Parmalee - 50:11
- End Parmalee - 1.08:32
- End Ute (after tower and elbow) - 1.32:18
- Start Turkey Trot - 1.45:28
- End bench - 1.58:01

looking & feeling good...maybe a prelude of things to come ?
Always nice to get confirmation of your fitness leading up to your target.
Impressive, sounds like you got the guns loaded and are ready for battle.
I like to time trial from the parking lot up Castle to the shelter and keep track of that time. I finally broke 30mins last week with a 28:45. I was pretty worked up and excited about it.
Keep up the good work.
